With the world becoming smaller because of the popu- lation explosion, knowing different languages will become one of the most important assets in the world. Also if some students plan to apply for jobs in the future dealing with people, such as doctors, lawyers, airline stewerdesses, or any kind of job that involves public relations, it would be of great importance to know a foreign language. ww if
